Description
Barbera d’Alba Plaustra 2020 Burzi
Variety: Barbera 100%
Intense ruby red with evident purple reflections.
The nose has head scents of dark berries: blueberry and blackberry. Plum and some red flower ideas follow. Lively and clear, the scents are completely pleasant and inviting.
On the palate it shows a classic and full-bodied acidity, typical of the grape. We do not stop at this hardness, because also the flavor makes its precious contribution to the drinkability of the wine. Good softness, for a thick sip. In retro olfaction aromas of fresh fruit reach the nasal receptors.
Accompanies aged cheeses, traditional cured meats. First courses with beef and hare ragout. Excellent with red beans stir-fried with onion, celery, carrot, chilli and parsley.
Among the Barbera, that of Burzi is distinguished by the precision and quality of the prospect of perfumes, and also by the freshness expressed on the palate.
Daily wine with excellent value for money.
